Turn your workouts into XP (Apple Health and Apple Watch)
What counts
- Workouts recorded on Apple Watch or saved to Apple Health by other apps
- Walking, worked out from your daily movement
- Sleep, as recorded in Apple Health
How to set it up
- Update IRLXP from the App Store.
- Turn on the Apple Health option in the app and allow access when Apple asks. You choose what to share and can change it any time in the Health settings on your iPhone.
- Do a workout as usual. Use your Apple Watch's Workout app, or any fitness app that saves to Apple Health.
- Open IRLXP. The XP is already there, and it adds up even if you did not open the app that day.
Why it helps
The most common reason people stop tracking is forgetting to log. When workouts, walks and sleep are logged for you, the game keeps score without effort, and you can focus on the habits that need manual input: reading, deep work and time with family.
Apple Watch and widgets
The IRLXP Apple Watch app and watch-face complications keep your level and progress one glance away. Widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen on iPhone do the same.
Privacy
IRLXP reads Apple Health data only if you turn it on. It reads workout details, step counts (to work out minutes walked) and sleep, and does not keep your raw step counts or sleep stages. See the privacy policy. IRLXP is not a medical tool and does not give health advice.
Questions
Does IRLXP work with Apple Health?
Yes. Version 1.3 and later can add XP from workouts, walking and sleep in Apple Health, even when the app is closed, once you turn it on.
Does IRLXP have an Apple Watch app?
Yes, an Apple Watch app with watch-face complications.
Do I need an Apple Watch to get workout XP?
No. Any workout saved to Apple Health can count, from Apple Watch or other apps that write to Health.
Does IRLXP work on Android?
Android users can use the installable web app, which does not connect to Apple Health. Apple Health is an Apple feature.
